Springfield Library Family Night

On July 10, the E=mCD’s robot Shark Byte joined robots from
team 433, the Firebirds at the Springfield library for “Family Night : Robot
Invasion”.

There was a very large crowd of young children in
attendance. Our goal is to inspire interest is science and technology
among kids and this turned out to be a great way to do it.

The children began the evening with the Robot Scavenger
hunt. Each child took a list of robot parts to each one of four
robots. They searched for the parts on each robot and checked them off.
At each robot, a student explained how the robot was build and what the
robot was designed to do.

We then gave a demo of the robots. The kids were very
attentive and loved seeing Shark Byte shoot off the basketballs.

After the demo, some of the kids got a change to drive the
robots.

Thanks for your support of the McDevitt’s robots
team.

Next up for the team is a LabView programming class we will
be hosting in August.
